May 24, 2012-starting over part 2

So, my first jogging day was supposed to be an easy one. Only 2 minutes of jogging, that's nothing. I knew it would be hard because I'm so out of shape, but I had no clue how out of shape I am. It's like 5 minutes of walking just to get to the park, and another 5 to get to where nobody can see me. I started jogging, and after a few seconds I was like, Why am I doing this again? I only made it one minute before I couldn't go any further. My legs were hurting because I don't stand on them like I used to (between the hockey games and working at Wendy's, I USED to be on my feet all the time), and I was so out of breath. I've never had any stamina, but I didn't realize how bad I was. I wanted to just give up, but I still had to walk home, so I didn't sit. I was able to keep walking and after a minute or two, I was feeling fine again. I figured the day was ruined with my attempt at jogging, but I wanted to do another one minute jog just so I had the 2 minutes done, even if it wasn't all at once. That time it was much easier.

I started to head home, but I looked at Terry and he loves being out at the park, so I didn't want to rush him home and I don't want to be a bad example for him. I decided to do another round and try again. By the time I tried again though, I was too wore out. I only made it 30 seconds before I had to find a bench to finally take a break. I spent some time with Terry, drank some water and took it easy. After a few minutes, I got up and tried again and I DID IT!!! I was so proud of myself. I know it was nothing, especially compared to what my sister does, but I was still so happy I made it.

The next day was a day off, so the day after that I did the next thing on the list, which was the same as the first day, and I did it first try! It was hard still, but I'm doing it. I think I may try the app that my sister Shorty recommended though. Tomorrow is a workout day so I'll see if I like it tomorrow. Since I know I can do one minute at a time easy, maybe the jog, walk, jog walk, etc thing will be fine. Well, bye for now.
